[size=18]Russian newspaper Svobodnaya Presa published a report on the US escalation against Iran and the possibility of the situation getting out of control.

The report said the military-political situation was raging around the Gulf in front of our eyes. Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud called for an emergency Arab summit on deteriorating relations with Iran, the Saudi Press Agency reported. A source at the Kingdom's Foreign Ministry told the agency that Arab League countries and the Gulf Cooperation Council were invited to participate.

"I still see only mutual threats," said Svobudnaya Prisa, a Middle East expert and head of the Institute of Oriental Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences, and said: "Americans are seriously preparing for a serious war ... George W. Bush, for example, was prepared to invade Iraq with great care, forming a coalition and receiving some international support.There is no such thing so far:

Americans may hope more for military assistance from Arab countries than from Europe?

The ground operation in Iran is not yet ready. And if you suddenly start, you will certainly not have a "picnic", like the US invasion of Iraq. Americans then "bought" many Iraqi generals, including the Baghdad defense official. With Iran, this will not work!

In addition, air strikes against Iran or a war at sea against them could lead to direct invasion of Israeli territory by Iranian and Hezbollah forces. Then the results will be dire!

Iran has recently made clear that it could lead to a real naval war in the Gulf. It seems to me that the "hot" heads in Washington are beginning to calm down.

Why should Iran's accusations continue to be sabotaged, and naval maneuvers off its shores?

"Now that Trump has been able to repel the attacks of the American Democrats, his participation in a desperate adventure with Iran will be a political suicide," Rochin concluded. "I think that in the case of Iran, he uses his traditional tactics of deception and threats.
